Dear James, Were you invited to the funeral?
They’re finally getting around to it six months later, and by invitation!
As if it’s the royal wedding. He must be ashes by now, doubt they’ve kept the old shell on ice for half a year.
It’s uncouth. It bothers me, it honestly does.
Makes me think I need to have a conversation with my own children.
Anyway, it gets worse. Liz asked me to speak at the service, SPEAK dear God the horrors never cease, as if getting there wasn’t enough a task, so do let me know if you’ll attend (if you were invited).
If you were not invited, perhaps you could come along as my plus one?
I’d rather not drive out to Frederick alone is what I’m getting at, James, and Bruce is taking his children skiing in Colorado.
It would be good if you would pick me up.
Do get back to me.
Warm regards,
Sybil
